Hey fellas I believe I'm going to get the vortech v3 6-8 lbs boost for the '95. Question is would the 3.73 gears work well with it or should I go something like 3.55 or 3.27??? I'm not all that excited with the 3.73's now as an n/a. 1st runs out way too fast and 5th feels like it needs to shift when on the hwy. Oh yeah it's a t-5 btw

It's more of a personal preference thing. I would put the Vortech in and see how you like it. If at that point you think you would be better off with a shorter gear, then I would make the change at that time.

Kind of funny that you mention it. I remember driving next to him on the highway on the way to the track in Palm Beach County. He must have stopped twice for gas, and the damn car was running at 4000+ rpms the whole way. I don't know how he even had the energy to make a pass after listening to that much noise for so long.

YUCK.. Pushrod Motors don't need that much gear.. Period.. 4.10's on the high side.. IMO 3.90's are PERFECT, and 3.73's are good. You definitely need rpm with the Vortech, and the shorter gears help tighten up the transmission ratio as well.
